Friday Night: Keynote?

It wasn’t quite a keynote. God is going to keep us on our toes this weekend.

We heard three short talks on who God is before moving in to a brief time of Eucharistic adoration. First, from Brian, we heard that God is strong. “The weight of responsibility [to try to be something we aren’t] feels heavier than the strength we have inside – but we don’t have to carry it all. God carries it for us.” Because God is strong.

Megan was up next, sharing how God is faithful. She reflected on how Psalm 37:4-5 has proven true in her own life. We need to trust in Him, and then He will act (but be careful to get that order right – it doesn’t say that He will act and then we trust). “Let’s anticipate God’s faithfulness. Thank Him in advance for His faithfulness to you.” Because God is faithful.

And then, our host Chris came back and said, simply, that God is here. He spoke about deep regret over a time when he chose his friends over his father – and haven’t we all been guilty of that, when it comes to our Father in heaven? But God is here. Jesus has come for us, into our presence, and He waits. “He waits for you to ask,” Chris said. “What do you need from Jesus?” Because God is here.
